Notes / Commercial Description:
On the third night, I handed my sweetie a tall slender Pilsner. Perfectly poured. While holding it up and gazing either at it, or through it at me, she said softly, “you are so fine to me.” It was hard to tell if she meant to be heard. “Ambiguity, thy Name is Woman”, I nearly uttered. Whether she was speaking to me, or to the beer, it was merely semantics. The deal was sealed. I would make it my life”s work to make fine beer.

650ml bottle, finally nice to see this brewery's wares available in Alberta! Oh, and their marketing description above, here - fucking sublime!

This beer pours a clear, pale golden yellow colour, with a near-teeming tower of puffy, somewhat loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some random island chain lace around the glass as it very lazily recedes.

It smells of biscuity and cereal-forward pale malt, clover honey, faint estery yeast notes, and some proper leafy, grassy, and floral noble green hoppiness. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, a now lesser wan graininess, some mixed domestic orange and lemon citrus fruitiness, an extant earthy yeastiness, and some still heady leafy, floral and piquant grassy hops. Prost, or Prosim, or what have you!

The carbonation is rather active in its palate-taunting frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and generally smooth, with a subtle airy creaminess arising as things warm up a bit out of that relic basement refrigerator, yeah? It finishes barely off-dry, the grainy maltiness and still impressive Bohemian hoppiness keeping this camper more than happy.

Overall, wow - I know that I've made allusions to both German and Czech influences here, and why the hell not - no restrictive cultural or governmental controls exist in our country for this kind of stuff, right? Right - and good on Hoyne for making a stellar Pils, in their own way, with the best of all worlds as their muse.

The best Pilsner I've had outside of the Czech Republic. This is what a Pilsner is supposed to taste like. Malty, hoppy, pungent, crisp. It's got everything. This might be the beer I'd take to a desert island. If I could brew any beer I wanted, this would be the benchmark.
